This diagram shows a simple truth that many organisations miss: Crisis resilience sits at the intersection of: Right People × Right Work × Right Time When one is off: - Capable people are stuck on the wrong priorities - Urgent work is handled by the wrong roles - Good decisions are made too late (or too early) Most crises aren’t caused by bad intent or incompetence. They’re caused by misalignment under pressure. Strong leaders constantly ask: - Do we have the right people in the room? - Are they focused on the right work? - Is this the right time to act... or to pause? Alignment is what turns pressure into progress.

Crises rarely start loud. They usually start quietly. Watch for: - Decisions being delayed or avoided - Increased conflict or blame - Confusing or inconsistent communication - Staff disengagement or sudden turnover - Leaders reacting instead of thinking If you’re feeling constant pressure, uncertainty, or “firefighting mode,” a crisis may already be forming. Early awareness is the most powerful intervention.

Crises rarely announce themselves. They show up as: A leadership breakdown A reputational issue A staff conflict that’s gone too far A financial shock A governance failure Or a moment where everything feels unstable at once This community exists for leaders, executives, board members, and managers who want to be prepared, not reactive. What this space is about ✅ Crisis Awareness – recognising early warning signs before they escalate ✅ Crisis Prevention – systems, structures, and decisions that reduce risk ✅ Common Scenarios & Solutions – real-world examples, not theory ✅ Supportive Community – a place to think clearly, ask hard questions, and learn together Crisis management isn’t about heroics. It’s about clarity, calm decisions, and structure under pressure. Over the coming weeks, we’ll share: - Practical frameworks - Case studies (sanitised but real) - Board-level and executive insights - Tools you can actually use before and during a crisis To get started: What’s the biggest leadership or organisational risk that keeps you up at night right now? You don’t need to overshare—just name it. Chances are, you’re not the only one thinking it.

It's great to be able to start a community that can help each other going through a crisis in their organisation. Crises can be difficult, both emotionally and professionally. We are here to support you.
